Last week, Saudi officials provided the Palestinian Authority with the Trump Administration’s “Deal of the Century”. It is a roughly 30 page document on how to bring peace to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

A deal, as defined, is an agreement entered into by two or more parties for their mutual benefit. In Trump tradition, this deal is anything but mutual.

The deal calls for drawing new borders, giving Palestine control of only Area A and B (about 40% of the landmass), no settlements evacuation, giving East Jerusalem to Israel and creating a new Jerusalem from the eastern suburbs for Palestine. Of course, Israel would remain in control of borders and security.

It would also lay to rest any notion of a Palestinian refugee’s 'right to return’. It would relocate the population permanently outside of Israel and take away their refugee status.

This comes at a time where the Knesset pushes forward a bill further defining Israel as a Jewish nation-state. This bill would enshrine Jewish doctrine into the law and additionally minimizing Palestinians or any non-Jewish people’s right to citizenry within Israel.

Considering this deal disregards entirely the desires or sovereignty of Palestine, Palestine’s President, Mahmoud Abbas, calls the deal of the century the “Slap of the Century”.
